Ogunquit Fast Facts:

Gayborhood Charming gay inns and friendly gay bars abound. If Jessica Fletcher liked chicks, she'd live here.
Looking for the beach? From the town centre follow Beach Street over the bridge, through the shops to ummm... the beach. The gays congregate to the left near the first set of wooden stairs past the shops. End your tanning spree with a drink overlooking the waves at Splash.
From the town centre follow Shore Street to Perkins cove, an adorable little harbor. A whole new cluster of shops and restaurants surround the boats. Be sure to take a ride; the sunset "booze cruise" is a great way to start the evening.
Marginal Way Walk is a scenic path that meanders along the rocky coast for a mile towards the beach. A romantic stroll, a pensive stumble or a calorie burning stride - it doesn't matter you won't want to miss this ocean meets granite vista.
